IUDGETANEYS DOCTRINE.

Columbia, S. c., March 3O.-Informa-
ton has been received here of an out
rage committed on the Cooper River
near Oakley, for which Captain Lewis
Poinsett, of the sloop Carrie and Hattie,
will probably suffer A large party of
colored laborers who had been working
on a river plantation OH one side of the
river were being conveyed across to
their homes on the other side in flat
boat. When the boat was in the middle
ofthe stream it was passed by the sloop.
After passing about a hundred yards
the sloop came aboutand, notwithstand-
ing the ample room in the river, ran
directly into the fatboat, which was
partially split open and a number of
men knocked into the river, four of
them being drowned. The jury of in

druggists in compounding Prescriptions
is SO large that it is a matter Of wonder
that more safe guards are not thrown
around the public to prevent these
fatal accidents. Some method should
be generally adopted which would make
it next to impossible for any druggist to
put poisonous compounds into medi-
cines where they do not belong. The
Scientific American of the present week
publishes an account of an invention
the use of which would prevent the pos
sibility of such accidents as occurred in
this city last week, causing the death of
a dear child. State laws should be
passed, making it criminal for any drug
gist to fail to use some such device. We
are wonderfully careless in not protect
ing human lives more fully.

The real estate fever is beginning to be
epidemic among our people; every man
one meets is on the look GU, for snap.
They are somewhat selfish however and
are altogether too secretive about their
movements. The better plan would be
for those who have a few hundreds to
spare to put their little sums together
and buy some of the valuable acre pro.
perties to be had, and then to plat them,
and thus get the benefits which accrue
from the larger Investments. It is all
very we'll for men to go it alone some
times, but it is nevertheless an ac-
knowledged fact that in union there is
strength. Let us endeavor te inspire
confidence in each other, by fair square
dealing one with another, We need
not rush wildly into the traps constant
ly laid for the feet Of the unsophisto-
Gated and ,lnwary, but be sure we are
right and then go ahead. It has been
den, onstrated by the continued activity
in the market, which only increases as
time moves along, that there is nothing
of a boom in it, but that the rapidly in
screasing values are the natural result of
the rapidly increasing population. st.
Paul dirt is better value than bank stock.

There have been several Withdrawals
OF companies from participation in the
National drill shortly to take place at
Washington, D. c., because there are
one or two companies of colore d men
entered; and, even the company in this
city, is suspected of withdrawing on
that account.
Among the companies to withdraw
was the Belknap Rifles, of San Antonio,
Tex, but we learn they have changed
their minds, since, in answer to tele-
gram sent by them, asking if the colored
troops would camp and drill with the
whites, and if they would be recognized
in the appointment of officers of the
day, the following telegram was sent
them:
Washington, d. c., April Capt. T.
j. Badger, San Antonio, Tex: No.
There seems to be an entire miscon-
Virginia brigade. In it are two negro
companies. If thev come they will be
camped separately and drilled separate
ly. Please show this to Capt Greene.
(Slgned.) ALBERT ORD WAY,
Chief of Military Committee.
1t now is in order for US to indulge in
our great American prerogative of kick
ing and say: If there is the slightest
difference, the most infinitesimal par
ticle of prescription or ostracism shown
to the colored companies on account of
color, we hope they will Immediately
withdraw. Be EQUAL or nothing
We are getting to be quite powerful
indeed, SO much so that our white
brothers and sisters are almost para
lyzed when they are brought in compe-
tition with us for fear that we will win.
African blood asserts it's strength: let
one be ninety-nine parts white and one
part African, the one part absorbs the
ninety and nine. .....
e. If the white companies are composed
of men and wish to enter competitive
drill for the purpose of gaining fame
they can lose none by eXcelling colored
soldiers, who have proven themselves to
be the equals of an people in the wo Id
in military tactics. We hope the
American citizens who desire to take
part in the American drill will be treat
ed as American citizens should be
treated by Americans in America.
